Southwark Overview and Scrutiny Committee a Review of Further Southwark Overview and Scrutiny Committee A review of further education and skills provision in the London Borough of Southwark June 2017 Section 1: Introduction and methods of scrutiny The overview and scrutiny committee undertook this investigation to identify problems and issues with the further education offer in Southwark, particularly with regard to the offer made to young people. We want to make recommendations which will improve the FE offer so that a system is in place which harnesses their full potential and prepares them for the world of higher education and employment. Clearly, a major focus of our work is Lewisham Southwark College. The college was assessed as ‘inadequate’ by Ofsted twice in the space of eighteen months between 2013 and 2015 and was given ‘requires improvement’ in 2016. In stark contrast to the college, Southwark’s schools are now performing at their best rate in a generation, with nine in ten rated ‘good’ or ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted. In the Committee’s view, it is a matter of great urgency that the FE offer within the borough is brought up to the high standards of our schools. The methods used by the Committee to scrutinise this issue include: - Interviewing the Cabinet Member for Business, Employment and Culture - Interviewing the principal of Lewisham Southwark College - Informal conversations with Southwark Education Policy officers - Informal conversations with young people accessing further education in Southwark - Review of the Government’s Post-16 Skills Plan published in July 2016, - Review of the Independent Panel on Technical Education (chaired by Lord Sainsbury) - Review of the Lewisham, Lambeth and Southwark Skills Analysis (2013/14) - Review of the Area Based Review of FE and Skills – setting out the FE and skills landscape in central London, presenting recommendations and wider conclusions for consideration. - Review of the most recent Ofsted report for Lewisham Southwark College - Review of Ofsted case studies exemplifying best practice One action which the Committee was not able to carry out, but which was originally planned, was to visit Lewisham Southwark College in person. Eventually the committee was not able to do this, partly due to the unexpected calling of the 2017 General Election. We would like to put on record our thanks to the College for this invitation. Section 2: Changes to the skills system, the context for Southwark Any review of further education in Southwark must take account of the wider changes to the system currently taking place. The Independent Panel on Technical Education, chaired by Lord Sainsbury, was established to advise ministers on issues relating to technical education in England. Their report1 published in April 2016 made a number of recommendations for the improvement of the skills system. A core focus was on simplifying the current offer and on making the sure qualifications are fit for purpose in a rapidly changing economy. The review identified a number of key challenges in the current system: - Existing qualifications do not bear sufficient relation to occupational or employer requirements. - The volume of qualifications on offer (over 13,000 technical qualifications including more than 33 in plumbing alone) drives down quality and makes it impossible for learners to make informed and effective decisions about what route is best for them. - There is a market-based approach to qualifications which has reduced quality, particularly in level 2/3 qualifications. The report recommends a fundamental shift in the structure of the technical education. It recommends two modes of learning – work-based (through apprenticeships) and college- based – structured around 15 routes anchored in occupations. Responding to the report, the Government’s post-16 Skills Plan2 adopts all the recommendations included in the independent panel’s review (within financial constraints). These include: - Streamlining technical education to 15 occupation-based routes, grouping occupations where there are shared technical and skills requirements. - Introducing a two-year programme at the beginning of all routes, centred around a common core of learning. - Reforming qualification regulations generally, and specifically limiting qualifications for these two-year programmes to just one-per programme, delivered by licence following a competitive process. - Offering transition years and bridging provision to help learners join and transfer on/off technical routes. - Reforming careers education to ensure everyone knows the options available to them. In addition to other issues identified by the Sainsbury review, the report highlights a persistent deficit in apprenticeship opportunities and a lack of technical education at higher levels to meet futures skills demand. 1 Report of the Independent Panel on Technical Education, April 2016 2 Post -16 Skills Plan, July 2016 The Government’s plan also sets out four guiding principles by which these reforms will be shaped: 1. Employers must play a leading role. 2. Technical education needs to be fulfilling, aspirational, clearly explained and attractive to everyone, regardless of their gender, race, disability, sexual orientation, sexual identity or any other factor beyond their control. 3. We need to ensure that many more people can go on to meet the national standards set by employers. 4. We need close integration between college-based and employment-based technical education. It is clear that there are some clear challenges around skills to be addressed both in the short and medium term. Plans to address some of the issues of complexity and poor-quality in the technical education offer nationally are in place. It is widely accepted that there is a mismatch between the qualifications offered by providers and the skills required by employers. How effectively these solutions satisfy need at the local level will depend, to some extent, on the quality of information key stakeholders have access to. Funding devolution The devolution of the Adult Education Budget (AEB) to London (approximately £400 million per year) was confirmed in the 2016 Autumn Statement. It is anticipated that funds will be devolved to the GLA in 2019/20. The AEB combines all Skills Funding Agency money that is not from the European Social Fund (ESF), Advanced Learner Loans or apprenticeship funding. It covers qualifications at Levels 2 and 3, and English and maths legal entitlements and can be used to support learners aged 19+. Funding levels vary according the qualification, learner age and the current qualifications held by the learner. A ‘Skills and Employment Board’ will be created in the central London sub-region with a view to creating a sub-regional skills strategy to support the administration of these funds. This board will feed in to the London-wide skills strategy and serve as a strategic framework for borough-based engagement with FE and skills providers. How the GLA plans to administer these funds is not yet clear. This will, of course, have implications in terms of the scope for innovations. It is also noted that, at this time, the adult education budget is used to a greater or lesser extent to up skill adults who did not achieve Level 2 in school or further education. This will need to be considered in any plans for how the budget is allocated. Advanced Learner Loans are available to support adults in accessing further education. The loans cover qualifications at levels 3-6 (or, A Levels through to a graduate certificate) for adults aged 19 and over and are repayable only on completion of the course and once the loan recipient is earning at least £21,000 per year. Area Based Review The Central London Area Based Review of Skills covering all general further education and sixth form colleges across 12 local authority areas (Camden, City of London, Westminster, Hackney, Haringey, Islington, Kensington and Chelsea, Lambeth, Lewisham, Southwark, Tower Hamlets and Wandsworth) was released in January 2017. The reviews were designed to enable colleges to become financially sustainable. A response was presented to Cabinet in March 2017. The report outlines the demographics of the area, sets out performance against key indicators and maps supply and demand for skills across the region. Key findings include: Highest growth is forecasted in the following sectors: - professional, real estate, scientific and technical - administration and support - health and care - ICT - accommodation and food service - retail - construction - education Southwark performs consistently above the London average at key stage 4. Apprenticeships in the following areas are most popular: business administration, health and social care, and service enterprises. There is limited apprenticeship delivery in key growth sectors such as IT, communication, leisure, travel and tourism, and education. There is also a limited offer of higher apprenticeships from further education colleges. The Review notes that there is a need for FE provision to better meet the needs of Central London’s employers, and for improved dialogue between colleges, employers and local government to enable this. The Review also identifies a lack of quality information, advice and guidance, and the imbalance in the provision of apprenticeships between FE colleges and private providers. Section 3: FE and Skills in Southwark Given the evidence the committee has reviewed, it is clear Southwark residents have not had access to a quality Southwark-based FE offer for some years. The most recent Ofsted reports for both Lewisham Southwark College and Lambeth College gave ratings of ‘requires improvement’. Further, Lewisham Southwark College is subject to a notice of concern for financial health and minimum standards, particularly regarding apprenticeships. The committee notes that Southwark is among the top 5 boroughs exporting learners, with 71% of Southwark learners3 aged 16-18 choosing to leave Southwark for further education. This has implications for the retention of local talent as residents studying in other boroughs consider what their next steps following completion of their chosen course might be. The merger of Lewisham Southwark College and Newcastle College Group was formalised Friday 12 May 2017.

It has experienced rapid population growth, increasing by over 50,000 in the last 10 years up until 2015. There are five key town centers: Brixton, Clapham and Stockwell, North Lambeth (Waterloo, Vauxhall, Kennington), and Norwood and Streatham. Lambeth is the 5th most deprived Borough in London. One in five of the borough’s residents work in jobs that pay below the London Living Wage. This is reflected by the fact that nearly one in four (24%) young people live in families who receive tax credits. Major regeneration developments and improvements are underway for Waterloo and Vauxhall and the Nine Elms Regeneration project which will drive the transformation of these areas. Lambeth College has three main campuses in the borough, based in Clapham, Brixton and Vauxhall. Approximately a quarter of the student cohort in any given academic year are 16‐18 learners. In addition to this, there is also a significantly growing proportion of 16-18 learners on Apprenticeship programmes, moderate numbers on workplace‐training provision for employers and school link programmes which are offered to relatively smaller learner volumes.

  • Open Letter to Address Systemic Racism in Further Education
    BLACK FURTHER EDUCATION LEADERSHIP GROUP 5th August 2020 Open letter to address systemic racism in further education Open letter to: Rt. Hon. Boris Johnson, Prime Minister, Rt. Hon. Gavin Williamson MP, Secretary of State for Education, funders of further education colleges; regulatory bodies & further education membership bodies. We, the undersigned, are a group of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) senior leaders, and allies, who work or have an interest in the UK further education (FE) sector. The recent #BlackLivesMatter (#BLM) global protest following the brutal murder of George Floyd compels us all to revisit how we address the pervasive racism that continues to taint and damage our society. The openness, solidarity and resolve stirred by #BLM is unprecedented and starkly exposes the lack of progress made in race equality since ‘The Stephen Lawrence Enquiry’. Against a background of raised concerns about neglect in healthcare, impunity of policing, cruelty of immigration systems – and in education, the erasure of history, it is only right for us to assess how we are performing in FE. Only by doing so, can we collectively address the barriers that our students, staff and communities face. The personal, economic and social costs of racial inequality are just too great to ignore. At a time of elevated advocacy for FE, failure to recognise the insidious nature of racism undermines the sector’s ability to fully engage with all its constituent communities. The supporting data and our lived experiences present an uncomfortable truth, that too many BAME students and staff have for far too long encountered a hostile environment and a system that places a ‘knee on our neck’.

  • Improving Pathways to Employment in Loughborough Junction
    Improving pathways to employment in Loughborough Junction This report is a summary of interviews, focus groups, and surveys of stakeholders and residents of Loughborough Junction carried out by the Young Foundation between March and October 2012 with funding from JPMorgan. Tricia Hackett Lucia Caistor-Arendar Mandeep Hothi October 2012 Acknowledgements We are grateful for the collaboration of our partners including Kings College Hospital, Lambeth College, London Borough of Lambeth, Helen Casey at the Institute of Education, the Loughborough Federation of Primary Schools, and support from the London Community Foundation and funding provided by JPMorgan. Sections • Background • Executive Summary • Research aims and methods • Key findings • Asset map of local education, skills and training provision • Views from residents and local stakeholders • Service Design Workshop: Four Ideas • Outcomes • Appendix 2 Background In early 2012, the Young Foundation was commissioned to conduct a feasibility study for the creation of a School of New Resources (SNR) - inspired by a New York City based community-education programme - in partnership with Kings College Hospital, Helen Casey at the Institute of Education, and the Loughborough Federation of Primary Schools. The Young Foundation expanded the partnership to include the London Borough of Lambeth and had support from the London Community Foundation. The idea for a School of New Resources for Loughborough Junction was the inspiration of Richard Chambers who was then Principal of Lambeth College. Mr Chambers retired soon after the project was commissioned and because of this and other significant changes at the college they were unable engage as a key partner as was originally envisaged. The theory of change for the School of New Resources was local residents having a stake in the economy and participating in civil society through improved educational attainment, employment, and volunteering rates of local residents, particularly those who are the most excluded.
